The outline planning application for 269 dwellings on land north of Church Lane was heard on Wednesday 27th January 2021, at the Mid Suffolk Planning Referrals Committee. Despite putting forward detailed evidence of our transport, planning and community objections, the Committee voted to approve the application with 8 in favour and 4 against. Our Ward Councillors spoke eloquently in support of the Parish Council’s position, but disappointingly, the proposals were pushed through.
The two planning applications for Church Lane in Barham and Ely Road in Claydon are due to be considered at the Mid Suffolk District Council Planning Referrals Committee on 27th January 2021.
